• SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Before we proceed to notice the proclamation of Lord Durham, brought by the Royal William steamer, we wish to correct a mistake of our Contemporary the Globe with respect to his Lordship's departure, and the time at which he may be expected in this country. "It is expected," says the Globe, " that his Lordship and suite will leave New York about the 27th instant, and will be in England before Christmas." He was to leave Quebec, not New York, on the 27th of October. His Lordship has stated, we know, that he did not expect to be in England before the month of January. It was not his intention to pass rapidly through the States, but to endeavour to strengthen as far as he could the good understanding between the two nations. With respect to the proclamation of his Lord ship, it is no doubt an eloquent paper. It is impossible to prove, in more forcible language, the injustice and the folly of delegating to him it power which, "in the strictest sense of the word, was despotic," for purposes for which a more limited authority would have been unavailing, and then harassing him by a system of petty interference. It was necessary," says his Lordship, " that the most un usual confidence should accompany the delegation of a most unusual authority ; and that, in addition to such great legal powers, the Government here should possess all the moral force that could be derived from the assurance that its acts would be final, and its engagements religiously ob served." Lord Melbourne warned the Peers when they were proceeding in their infatuated course to beware how they destroyed his Lordship's authority, and he predicted the mischievous consequences which must follow from their interference. It was madness to " dream of applying the theory or the practice of the British constitution to a country whose constitution was suspended—where all re presentative government was annihilated, and the people deprived of all control over their own affairs—where the ordinary guarantees of personal rights had been in abeyance during a long subjection to martial law, and a continued suspension of the habeas corpus— where there neither did exist, nor had for a long time existed, any confidence in the impartial administration of justice in any political case." But there is a time and a place for everything. What might have been becoming and necessary for Lord Durham to say in his place in Par liament ought not to have been said by the representative of the Queen in Canada. There is much force in the ob servations of the Standard on this subject :—" We, having anticipated, with far inferior ability, all the arguments by which the Noble Earl defends his ordinances, must be sup posed to admit the force of that defence, but we cannot think that it has been made in the proper place. The whole paper looks too like an appeal from the decision of the Queen and Parliament of Great Britain to the sense, if not to the feeling, of the people of Canada ;—surely an unbecoming character for a proclamation issued by the Queen's representative." That the people of Canada could not of themselves fail to draw from the folly, the in sanity, rather, of the House of Peers, inferences calculated to shake their confidence in the Colonial Govern ment is no doubt true. It was impossible that they should not consider it as a great draw back from the advantage of a connection with this great empire that the hereditary branch of the Legislature proved itself possessed of such inconceivable fatuity as to suffer itself to be led by the quibbling of a factious lawyer to interfere with the only course which could avert from Canada a renewal of civil war. But Lord Durham should not have drawn that inference himself. The cavilling of factious or pedantic Peers about the illegality of the Ordi nances will have had the effect of continuing the troubles of the colony, of checking its industry, and giving a blow to its prosperity. There is really no calculating the amount of mischief which may result from the proceedings of the House of Lords. On the authority of one well acquainted with what is now going on in Canada, we may state that the task of Lord Durham's successor will be a most arduous and painful one ; and therefore we could have wished that his Lordship had not added to the difficulty by the inflammatory character of his proclamation. We are assured that the habitans, once so peaceable and confiding, and who in former times had for the English a deference amounting almost to devo tion, are now inflamed with the most intense hatred of their fellow -subjects of British origin. This hatred has not been diminished by the events of the brief but decisive struggle into which they entered last autumn. They are now burning for revenge for the defeat they have sustained, and the consequences of that defeat. They are by no means dis posed to sit down contentedly with the first reverse. We almost dread to repeat what we have heard from a source on which we place great reliance. The contest, we are told, has been commenced, and it must go on to its ter mination. It is now a contest of racet ; it is Englishman against Frenchman, not Loyalist against Rebel, or Royalist against Republican. No other sentiment animates either race against the other—all differences and grievances hivve merged in this one ; and nothing can now bring about a settlement, but such a course of events as shall determine the question whether English or French blood shall rule. The contest which has been provoked by the sword must be settled by that weapon or by superior force. We beseech our readers to believe that we would not re peat this strong and frightful language, did we not believe that it most accurately describes the present feeling in Ca nada. The picture of civil strife which the Duke of Wel lington drew in the House of Lords from his experience, when he urged his apprehension of it as a ground for no longer refusing to concede the claims of the Catholics, was but too like the reality. Would that his Grace had borne his own description in remembrance when factious lawyers and political sciolists were so dangerously tampering with the peace of Canada. The Duke of Wellington ought to have given on that trying occasion his support to Lord Mel bourne, and discountenanced the attempts to throw Ca nada into confusion. It is, as Lord Melbourne well observed, one of the evils of popular Government, that authority may be paralyzed at critical conjunctures, when the integrity of the empire is endang ered. Knowing this vulnerable point, it is the especial duty of all men possessed of high influence to use it in frowning down such mis chievous attempts as those of last Session. At the same time we must say that Lord Durham ought to have made greater allowances for the peculiarities of the Government of this country. He was, it is true, invested with despotic powers ; and to interfere with him in the execution of those powers was most mischievous. But how often in the his tory of England has faction animated the members of the Legislature ! No power, however absolute, can be pro tected against the attacks of members of either House. At this time, more especially, such attacks can with more difficulty be guarded against. The majorities of the two Houses pull in different directions. The ma jority of the House of Lords is Tory, and the ma jority of the House of Commons is Liberal. Lord Melbourne's Government was placed in abeyance by the majority of the House of Lords. When the faction chooses to exert itself in that House, the Minister is ne cessarily involved in difficulties. Of what avail would it have been to make a stand in the Commons with the Lords moving in another direction ? Canada would not have gained by a collision which placed the whole Tory party at variance with Lord Durham's Government. —Morning Chronicle. _ _ • . . Amongst other articles of intelligence brought by the Royal William, from New York, and inserted yesterday in a second edition of this Journal, there came a proclama tion of Lord Durham, dated the 9th of October, and ad dressed to the Canadians of both provinces—a curious, highly characteristic, perfectly unexampled, and most inde corous document. If this proclamation of the Noble Lord were to be judged no otherwise than with regard to its me rits as a composition, we could say, with truth, that it is neatly, and indeed elegantly, written. But the affairs of empires and the characters of Statesmen are not to depend on such skin-deep attributes as correctness of grammar and clearness of style. Where there is in the conduct of a po litical functionary an evident and egregious want of temper, of discretion, of magnanimity, of patriotism—of even the most ordinary solicitude for the public interests and wel fare—of even the most homely sense of decency towards the Government (however mean and despicable), which employs him, and towards the Legislature which he professes himself bound to obey—it were frivolous trifling to adduce the literary purity of an otherwise vicious and desperate production, in apology for those reprehensible motives through which alone it could ever have been permitted to see the light in such a form, and at such a season. We beg to be understood as confining the above animadversions to this single pro ceeding of Lord Durham —namely, his address to the people under his government, bearing date the 9th of last October. With the previous acts of the Noble Lord, after he took upon himself the administration of North America, we need not have any immediate concern beyond what is required by his reference to them in the document now under notice. It will be soon enough when he comes to defend the whole policy of his High Commissioner ship (should he ever do so) from his place in the House of Lords. Lord Durham commences by a sneer at the policy of his predecessors in the government of the Canadas—a sneer as uncalled for as it is mischievous, ill-conditioned, and unjust :—" The mystery which has heretofore too often, during the progress of the most important affairs, concealed from the people of these colonies the intentions, the motives, and the very actions of their rulers, appears to me to have been one of the main causes of the numerous errors of the Govern ment, and the general dissatisfaction of the people." Might not the Noble Lord have assigned a reason for his own unreserved communicativeness to the Canadians, with out attempting to raise a shout of popularity for himself by a slander on those who went before him ? Lord Durham next commits a palpable blunder, involving a contradiction, as well as a self-condemnation, which pervades his whole address to the people :—" I explained to you in a procla mation issued immediately on my arrival on these shores the nature of the powers vested in me." Now, this would all be extremely well if much the greater portion of what follows were not a clear demonstration on the part of the Noble Lord that he could not have explained to the Cana dian people (correctly at least) the " nature of the powers" vested in him, because it is placed beyond all question that he did not understand them himself. " When Parliament concentrated all legislative and executive power in Lower Canada in the same hands, it established an authority which, in the strictest sense of the word, was despotic.' Here, again, there is a manifest blunder. The Noble Lord may have flattered himself that he possessed despotic power, and may, with the eagerness of a vain and aspiring mind, have caught at it as a boy would jump at a new play thing. But the Act of Parliament which appointed him proved that his powers were in no sense of the word despo tic. Even the right of appointing his own " Special Coun cil" was positively withheld from the Lord High Commis sioner, and in nominating the members of his own house hold to be his councillors, without a previous authorization from the Queen in Council here, his Lordship assumed a power with which the Act of Parliament had certainly not intrusted him. Lord Durham proceeds :—" He never was weak enough to imagine that the forms by which men's rights are wisely guarded in that country" (viz., England) where freedom has been longest enjoyed, best under stood, and most prudently exercised, could be scrupulously observedin a society almostentirely disorganized by misrule" (another backhand blow at his predecessors) " and dissen sion:" where also, after some considerable verbiage, he adds words to this effect :—" Martial law had prevailed, the Habeas Corpus Act had been suspended, and there had not for a long time existed any confidence in the impartial administration of justice in any political case." Now, throughout the whole of these reproachful retrospections of the Noble Earl, does it not strike, and grate upon, the mind of every English reader, that in no one sentence, and in no one phrase, does there so much as by accident ooze out the very slightest inuendo with regard to the real cause and origin of the " martial law," the " suspended Habeas Corpus Act," and the want of all " confidence" in Juries ? Does it not affect with a mixture of indignation and dis gust every loyal Engl ishman who reads this manifesto, that this departing Captain-General and civil " despot" should, while speaking of the privation of " Constitutional" Go vernment in Canada, forget to glance at the pernicious presence and long-continued practices of incendiary dema gogues w h o se sole business had been to in flame the s' peo ple" against those who were placed in authority over them ; that he should never state frankly, broadly, and like a man of honour, the necessity which existed for not restoring the powers of a Constitution which the French Canadians themselves had overturned ; the compulsion under which the British authorities had reluctantly acted in resisting an open rebellion by " martial law," and the spirit of disaffection and hatred towards British rule which bad its source not one-tenth part so much in any descrip tion of real misgovernment, as in a desire, factitiously fomented, for ceasing to be a colony, and setting up as an independent nation of some half million of souls ? We are bound to say that there seems to us a great deal of a very discreditable character in this official document. But of a foolish and inconsistent c haracter, it may suffice to point out that he who had so early in the day explained to the people of Canada " the nature of the powers vested in him" is forced to qualify his account of the matter in a subsequent paragrap h, by s t a ting that he " had reason to believe that he was armed with all the power which be thought requisite by the Commissions and instruc tions under the Royal sign manual" &c., although he af terwards confesses that " in those first expectations he was painfully disappointed." Lord Durham afterwards boasts much of what he would have done for Canada, and was on the point of doing ; nor shall we be unfair enough to ques tion, that amidst te great variety of schemes projected by him, his Lordship might not have lighted on some from which more or less of practical good might by possibility have followed. What we most complain of, however, in this State document is the want of dignity as well as principle manifested by Lord Durham in making an in flammatory appeal to the turbulent democracy wherever it can be found in North America against the Legislature of Great Britain and the constituted the es of t h e empire —attempt in g to gain over the popu of the colonies as parties in his own personal quartherel— - and, since he has been himself deprived of Go vernm ent, to render the task of governing those colo nies as difficult as possible for those who come after him—to exasperate to the utmost the passions of a rebel lious people, to undermine the dominion of to th accelerate e Mother Country over those distant possessions, and and define that calamitous hour at which a combination of bad men and evil contingencies may bring about the dis memberment of the noblest empire in the world. We say plainly that this document has given us a worse opinion of Lord Durham than we ever entertained before. Puerile, vain, and petulant, the Noble Lord has often shown him self ; but in the present instance we regret to say that the qualities he discloses are of a far darker hue. At the same time the Queen's Ministers stand convicted as- much as ever of the grossest want of common sense towards Ca nada, and of the most ignominious meanness and treachery towards Lord Durham. They ought to have known, what is clear to all the world, that where subjects fling off the authority of the laws, and appeal to rebellion and bloodshed, the rule of government cannot be too simple, nor its powers too much concentrated. A military man is the most appropriate settler of an armed disturbance. Sir John Colborne, admirable as an administrator and a soldier, who had learned the science of war under Wallington at the head of the 52d Regiment, throughout the whole of the Peninsular contest, was already in Canada, and knew the country, where he had been in observation of the p eop le The first folly of the Ministers pp for ten or eleven yearhs. faineant as Lord Gosford to was their sending such a The second folly was to su s p e sede or encumber him. and • ,'d Lord Durham, a loose ostentatioush experimentalist, intemperate, speculative;victirgotcLoertdy,Daunrdhacmon(cseiinteede. he The third folly was the not g ofari une their choice) powers adeq f uate u to t the emergency h follyewmaestchnecy notir being su ppressed rebellion. `ll.le amountfourth of power w hich Lord themselves aware of the out Durham did actua ll y carry w ith him.

We copy the following from the Globe of last night, disregarding the apparent awkwardness of repeating that short article of our own which it embodies. If we thought this repetition needed any apology to our readers we should plead in excuse for it the importance of the information which the article conveys, and our exclusive possession of the means of laying that information before the public. But no apology can be necessary since we plainly consult the con venience of our readers in placing our intelligence juxta position with the official contradiction , or qualification rather, which it has received, and in thus affording them all the facility we can for a comparison of the one with the other, and for drawing their own conclusion from both : " The Post publishes the following as its most prominent article this morning : " Wehave reason to believe that the Government has received dispatches from Lord Ponsonby, the British Ant bassador at Constantinople, dated the 13th ult., which men ticn the important fact that the Russians had collected a very large naval force in the Black Sea, and that they were daily expected at Constantinoplo. Our Ambassador had sent press ing instructions to the British Admiral at Vourla, to hold the fleet in readiness for any emergency that might arise. It was confidently expected at Constantinople, that if the Russian fleet should enter the Bosphorus and anchor before the capi tal, the British Admiral would be ordered to pass the Darda nelles, and closely watch them.' " " What is accurate in the above paragraph is, that dis patches have been received (some days back) from Lord Ponsonby, of the 13th ult. These, however, contain no spe cial intelligence of the above description. That the Russians are very active, and that there is corresponding vigilance in our fleet, is certain; but all the rest is mere rumour." " All Me rest is mere rumour." It is rather difficult to ascertain how much of our statement this is intended to contradict, or whether it be really intended to contradict any part of it. We may venture, however, to say, that if it be meant for a contradiction, it is more vague and timid than official contradictions generally are. But as " all the rest is mere rumour," let us see what the rest is, and in prder to this, let us see how much of our statement is ac knowledged and confirmed by the official article of the Globe. We were accurate, according to the Globe, in stating that despatches had been receivedfrom Lord Ponsonby of the 13th ult. This is something, and it is something the more that, although the despatches arrived, as our Ministerial Con temporary says, " some days back," the Treasury Journals had not been permitted to know anything of the receipt of the despatches, of their date, or of their contents, until our publication respecting them suggested to our Contem porary the necessity of making inquiries, or put his friends at the Foreign Office to the task of explaining and qualify ing what we had published, or of mystifying the public with respect to it. And as it was not " mere rumour" that had led us right in respect to the date of Lord Ponsody's de- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1838. spatches, of which we alone of the London journals knew anything, so neither probably was it " mere rumour" that had led us right when we informed the public that the com munication made by those despatches was important, and that it related to the Russian and t he British fleets. To this extent our statement is again confirmed and ratified by the official article of the Globe. " That the Russians are very active," says our Contemporary, " and that there is corresponding vigilance in our fleet is certain:" Then as to " all the rest," which the Globe is instructed to ascribe to the authority of " mere rumour," we have only to say that we now repeat, not merely with unabated but with increased confidence in its entire accu racy, every particular of our stateme nt of yesterday ; afterf nd we must take leave to deny the r i g ht of the Globe, admitting so much as it has been compelled to admit, to impeach the accuracy of " all the rest," otherwise than by an explicit statement from authority of the actual contents of Lord Ponsonby's despatches of the 13th ult., so far as they relate to the movements of the two fleets. Does the Globe expect to make its readers believe that Lord Pon sonby wrote home to his Government respecting the move ments of the Russian and English fleets, without saying more than that the firmer is " very active," and that " there is corresponding vigilance in the other ?"—Morning • Post. those half yearly payments. He (Mr. Sergeant Wilde) knew that by the recent Act of Parliament that was a matter left to the discretion of the Jury, but he complained that the mi3dirretion of the Learned Judge had the effect of preven . .ing them from exercising it in this case. The Court granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nor. 6. CHARLES NEALL'S BANKRUPTCY. This day was appointed for the final examination of the bankrupt, who has, however, not surrendered. The bankrupt entered into businesi six months since, at Epping, as a general dealer, and succeeded in obtaining goods on credit from vari ous firms, referring to Benjamin Parker as to his respectability. Parker become bankrupt, and Neall, when sought after, was not to be found. The liabilities of Neall amount to 2,0001., and the property seized to 2001. It is understood he has pro ceeded to the Continent. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nor. 6. SINGULAR APPLICATION. —IN THE MATTER OF S. PHILLIPS. In this case Mr. CooKE, at the rising of the Court, made a singular application. The insolvent was discharged under the Act in 1823, and the present application on the part of his Assignee was that a warrant should issue for his commit ment to the prison from which he was discharged until be transferred some property to which he was entitled, and which was more than sufficient to pay all his creditors twenty shillings in the pound. It appeared from an affidavit that the insolvent's father was entitled to funded property under the will of a relation named Somers, and he had assigned the property to his son, the insolvent. The property could not be taken in execution in pursuance of the Act of Parliament under which he was discharged, and an application was now made under the 58th section of the 7th Geo. I V., for the insolvent to transfer the property, or be committed to his former cus tody until he complied. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN referred to the words of the clause. He said the present motion would come under the words " any other property." Mr. COOKE remarked that the powers in such cases were now considerably extended by the new law. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN had no objection to grant a rule nisi, in order that the question might be argued. The COURT granted a rule accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN- S QUARE. Mr. Moran, an inspector of the B division of police, yester day applied to Mr. White, the presiding Magistrate, for his instructions under the following circumstances :-- The inspector, who was accompanied by two or three females, and a poor dirty-looking, emaciated boy, of about twelve years of age, stated that, while cn duty the previous night, at the station-house, in the New-way, Westminster, Catherine Moore, the daughter of the proprietor of a house, No. 55, Or chard-street, desired to see him, informing the constables that she had something of importance to communicate. On being admitted, she stated that she occupied a sleeping room on the first floor, the adjoining one being tenanted by a shoemaker, named Robinson. At different periods herself and lodgers had been much alarmed by the violence of this person, whose wife had quitted him in consequence of ill-usage. At about half-past twelve the inmates were alarmed by the shrieks of the boy, whom they could distinctly hear was being chastised most unmercifully, and the beating and cries of the poor boy continued for so great a length of time that the woman, Ca therine Moore, broke open the door, and, in consequence of the dreadful state in which she found the lad, hastened to the watchhouse. On receiving this information the inspector immediatly ac companied his informant to the room, where he found the father in a violent drunken state, and the boy covered with blood. He inquired the reason of such brutal treatment, and the fellow said that he had done it, because the lad had not kept his supper hot. He did not at the moment apprehend the man, because knowing where to find him, he was desirous of first having some advice from the Magistrate. The boy was stripped in the presence of the Magistrates, and his whole frame bore ample proofs of the brutal treat• ment to which he had been subjected. Mr. WHITE then directed the inspector to bring the mai before him. At the time the office closed, the inspector had not been able to apprehend the accused, the latter having absented himself from home. WORSHIP-STREET. E. Wilkinson, the wife of a lighterman, Mary Read, and Elizabeth Harding, the latter the housemaid, and the former the cook, in the family of Mr. Steinsteller, silk manutacturer, in the Wenlock-road, and whose private residence is in Fins bury Circus, were brought up for final examination, charged with having been concerned in a robbery of plate, valued at 211., consisting of tea and desert spoons, a silver milk-pot, &c. Elizabeth Harding was discharged. The other prison ers were fully committed. A Jersey paper states that great apprehensions are entertained in that island for the safety of the brig Betsey, belonging to Mr. Le Gros, which has been absent from New foundland, homeward-bound, considerably beyond her time. Should the worst fears be realized, nearly sixty human beings will be deprived of their natural protectors. DECREASE OF THE BALTIC.—It has been ob served that the waters of the Baltic are undergoing a gradual decrease, which seems to arise from some elevation of the sur face of the bottom and coasts of the sea. Ancient marks are traced upon the rocks, which indicate the former level of the waters, and these are now considerably above the surface of the sea. The Academy of Sciences of St. Petersburgh has called to this subject the attention of Prince Menze koff, Minister of Marine, and instructions have accordingly been given to Captain Lieutenant Reinecke, who is charged with a survey of the Coast of Finland, to observe with accu racy the present elevation of the existing mark above th e level of the sea, and to make new marks in the rocks at known heights to serve for future observation. WATER AND STEAM.—Hard water, by boiling, may be brought nearly to the state of soft. A piece of chalk put into spring water will soften it. When the steam from a tea-kettle appears cloudy, it should be taken off the fire, as the water is then fast boiling away. Keep the top of a kettle bright, as a polished surface keeps in the heat. On • Sunday afternoon the mortal remains of the unfortunate man, Edmund Taylor, a cooper, who was stabbed by a seaman named Robertson, at the instigation of an infamous woman, Helen Collins, who are now in Newgate, were con veyed for interment from the deceased's late dwelling to the Church of St. George's-in-tbe-East, Ratcliff-highway. A great number of persons followed the funeral procession. The people behaved with great decorum. In the gale on Sunday night last , seve ral boats en engaged in the herring fishery at Clovelly, foundered while anchored at their nets. Twenty-one men perished, one of whom was from the Lizard—men who were there on the fi-hery, not liking the state of the weather, had quitted a few days before to return home.—Falmouth Express. On Sunday morning Mr. Woodfield, a hairdresser and perfumer, in Church-lane, High-street, Windsor, cut his throat in a dreadful manner at his own residence, and survived but a very short period after the perpetration of the act. The deceased was a young man, and bad latterly suffered much from a violent attack of brain fever. SPURIOUS COIN.—A large quantity of spurious fourpenny pieces, or, as they are usually called, " Joes," pro fessing to be of the present reign, have lately got into circula tion. They are not well executed. THE BAGPIPES.—In a report of the Reform As sociation Dinner, that took place at Aberdeen,' on Wednesday evening, the following parenthetical passage occurs :—Here a man disguised in tartans, stood up in front of the orchestra, and, with much ferocity, blew the " Reel of Tullochgorum" upon a most barbarous and abominable instrument of noise called the Highland bagpipes. This same person thought proper, also, to continue blasting away in the lobby upon this horrid machine during the time that grace before dinner was saying, which tended in some measure to dissipate the devo tional feelings of the Association. He also at different periods of the evening afflicted the company with more of this wicked and hateful disturbance—for such the bagpipes are when played within doors, though on the top of a hill they are very tolerable. WEATHER AT COVE.—Nov. 3.—During the whole of yesterday, and a part of the night previously, it blew a perfect hurricane at W. N. W., but without doing any damage amongst the shipping in the harbour. - The barque Albion, of Cork, from Quebec, in working in, about 2 P. m. yesterday, missed stays, and got ashore inside the Light House, but was got off again at high water, without sustaining much injury. The barque Boddington, bound to Africa, fortunately got in before the gale had set in heavily ; she had lost her bowsprit, boom &c. The other vessels at Cove are the Agnes, from J' ' Gaspe ; Town of Ross, from Quebec; Charlotte Caroline, f ro m Stockholm, leaky; Arab, transport, for Halifax; Idea, from Quebec; brig Henry, and a few coasters. No doubt w e shall hear of m an y casualties at sea. The wind being off the land, vessels on ails coast could easily keep off shore. To -day we have the wind in almost the opposite point, being at S. S. E., and likely to blow strong.—Cork Reporter. On Sunday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, the driver of the cab No. 1,630, being at the time much intoxicated, was proceeding along Marylebone-lane, in the direction of Oxford-street, driving his horse at the rate of from twelve to fourteen miles an hour, when he drove the wheel of his cab with tremendous violence against those of the carriage of the Rev. Dr. Dodsworth, residing at Ho. 7, York-terrace, Regent's Park. The collision was so tremen dous, that the cab was broken in pieces, and the driver, horse, and cab knocked down. Assistance being rendered, the po lice stretcher from Marylebone-lane police station being pro cured, he was removed on it to Middlesex Hospital, where he lies w ithout hopes of recovery from the injuries lie sustained. The Reverend Doctor rendered every assistance in his po r to the unf ortunate sufferer who was the cause of the accident by his furious driving. The Doctor's carriage was proceeding a t the moderate rate of about six miles an hour. CAPTAIN CHAMIER'S NEW NOVEL. 16 singular circumstance, that in the era of naval novels, one 01 the most fertile subjects for such a work that has ever pre sented itself, has hitherto been overlooked or neglected. " The Mutiny of the Bounty" is an event in our naval an nals, quite unparalleled, as regards the personal interest which its circumstances involve, and i t i s, we this event , th at Captain Chamfer has founded understand, on his forthcoming " Jack A dams, the Mutineer." The very name excites the greatest interest, in those especially who are acquainted with the details of the story, and to those who arc not, the story m ay be described as uniting to the unequalled interest of De foe's best fictions, the additional charms of infinite variety and of absolute truth, LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 6. RICHARDSON V. THE BANK OF ENGLAND. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, the arguments in which were concluded yesterday. The case came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the present Master of the Rolls, ordering Mr. Rees Thomas, one of the partners in the late firm of Sir James Esdaile and Co., the Bankers of Lombard-street, to pay into Court a sum of upwards of 19,0001. His Lordship, after going at some length into the facts of the case which we gave when the case was argued, stated his opinion to be, that the Master cf the Rolls' judgment was wrong, and ordered it to be reversed. Mr. WIGRAM, who appeared for Mr. Rees Thomas, trusted that the Court would reverse the judgment, with costs, as there could be no doubt that the application for the order below was a vexatious one. The LORD CHANCELLOR said if the application had been originally made to him, he should have felt bound to have refused it, with costs, as cont! ary to the practice and principles of the Court. Such being the case, he felt himself bound to put the parties into the same situation as they would have been if the applica tion bad been originally made before him. He should there fore give Mr. Thomas the costs of the application in the Court below. IN Till MATTER OF DAVENPORT, A LUNATIC. This case came before the Court upon the petition of the Committee of a gentleman named Davenport, who had been found a lunatic, praying that a sum of 6,0001., which had been paid into Court by Mr. Ward, the representative of the late Bishop of Sodor and Man, might be paid over to them, together with interest. Our readers will recollect that the late Mr. Davenport, who was an eccentric individual left the sum of 6,0001. in trust to the late Bishop of Sodor and Man for certain charitable purposes. The rela tions and friends of Mr. Davenport obtained a commission against him, under which he was found a lunatic, and upon a petition being presented, Mr. Ward, the representative of the late Bishop was ordered to pay into Court, which he had done, the sum of 6,0001., which was not to be paid out without notice to the Attorney-General and also to Mr. Ward. Upon the present petition for the payment Out of the money, the Attorney-General appeared by Counsel stating his dissatisfaction at the finding of the lunacy of Mr. Davenport, and asking that the Court would not pay out the fund, until he had an opportunity of considering whether or not he should traverse the finding of the Jury. He had no objection however, to 'the interest of the fund being paid to the Committee if they required it until the question was settled. By an arrange ment among all parties, it was agreed that the fund should be retained in Court, and the interest paid to the Committee. HOARE V. JOHNSTONE, This case which came before the Court upon exceptions to he Master's report, occupied the Court the rest of the morn mg. The only question in the case is whether certain Lands called Upper and Lower Justice, were or not included in a lease. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 6. CRESSWELL V. NORTON. Mr. BINGHAM, on a former day, bad moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict given for the defendant in this case should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for the plaintiff. This was an action by an attorney to recover the amount of his bill for services performed for a solicitor in the country. The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff bad done the business under colour of being a solicitor in Chancery, but that he was not so, but only an attorney in another Court, and therefore had no right to maintain the present action. The Jury had given a verdict for the defendant, but the Learned Counsel now contended that this matter did not amount to a defence, for the statute of Victoria 1., c. 56, a. 4, would cure this defect if the Court thought that that statute had a retrospective operation. The COURT took time to consider, and on this day Lord DENMAN delivered judgment, and said the Act could not be considered as retrospective. The rule was, therefore, refused. BAIL COURT, Nov. 6. CHURCH-RATES. Mr. WHEATLEY applied to the Court for a rule calling upon the churchwardens of Walsall to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue, commanding them to make a rate for defraying the expenses of repairing the church of that place. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, after hearing the case, said—You may take a rule to show cause. MANSLAUGHTER. —THE QUEEN V. JOHN B RYANT. Mr. COCKBURN applied to his Lordship for a writ of certio rari to remove into this Court the proceedings taken upon a Coroner's inquisition in which the jury had returned a verdict of manslaughter against the above defendant. It a emppeared from the affidavits that the defendant w as a young lad plo ed as a waggoner, and that in driving his master's w aggon through the streets of Tiverton, the horses suddenly took fright and ran over a little girl, and killed her. The defendant now swore that the occurrence was purely accidental. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 6 TILE EARL OF MANSFIELD V. BLACKBURN. The Court granted the application. SLANDER.—DAVIS V. HEDGES. Mr. THESSIGER stated that this was an action brought to recover compensation in damages for certain sland erous words uttered by the defendant of and concerning the plaintiff, with intent to injure him in his business. The plaintiff was a re spectable tallow-chandler, residing in St. Martin's -lane, and the defendant carried on the same business in Charles-street, St. James's, and also in Piccadilly. The words c omplained of were coolly, deliberately, and maliciously uttered by thech d the e fendant. They were directed against the m ode in whi plaintiff carried on his business, and calculated to do him con siderable injury. Both parties were highly respectable in th, it respective stations in life, and he believed the defendant was a person of considerable wealth. Mr. KELLY, for the defendant, was not instructed to justify the words alleged to have been spoken by the defendant, but to deny that he had ever uttered them , or anything equivale to them, in the sense imputed to them by the plaintiff. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE Summed up t he evidence, and The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages 51. DEFRIES V. SOLOMONS AND WIFE. Mr. PLATT stated that this was an action to recover da mages for certain slanderous words spoken by the de fendant's wife, Judy—( A laugh)—of and concerning the plaintiff. The parties were both in humble circumstances ; they had a dispute about some money matters, which led to proceedings in the Court of Requests in Osborne-street, Whitechapel, at the termination of which the parties were leaving the Court, when the defendant's wife, addressing the plaintiff, said, " My husband is a batter man than you ; he never went to the House of Correction for six months for com mitting a rape." Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict for the defendants. This was an action for breach of covenant, brought to re cover the value of certain salt-pans, which had been removed by the defendant from certain salt-works in the West of Eng land at the expiration of a lease, in which he had covenanted to leave on the premises all engines, edifices, &c., necessary for the carrying on of the works. The cause was tried during the last Sumrrer Assizes, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, dameges 1,1001., the value of the salt-pans; but, on another issue, fourd for the defendant. It appeared that the pans in question were not attached to the premises ; and the simple question was whether they could come under the de scription of engines necessary for the carrying on of the salt works. Upor that point leave was reserved to the defendant to move the Court. Mr. JOHN EVANS accordingly to-day moved for a rule to show cause nhy the verdict should not ) be entered for the de fendant on tie issues raising that question. Mr. Vanoriax WILLIAMS, in the same caso, mad e a coun ter-motion to have the verdict entered for the plai nt iff on an other issue whic h raised a question with regard to covenant to repair. The CoutT granted both rules, but suggested th e p ro p r iety of framing the facts into a special case ; a sugg est i on w hich the Learned Cou nsel said they would recommend to their clients. ATT WOOD V. SMALL AND OTHERS. Mr. S e rgeant WILDE to-day made a cross -motion in this case, in which Sir William Follett yesterday obtained a rule nisi, for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside *ld a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection. The contlact well-known these parties were stated yesterday, until ha was restrained from so and it mas that Mr. Attwood had brought several actions to recover the half-yearly payments speci fied in those contracts , doing by an injunction obtained by the defendants in the Court of Exchequer. At first that injunction was granted on the terms of bringing the money into Court, but afterwards the paynent into Court was discontinued. When the House of Lords ordered the reversal of the Bill filed by the de fendants, the Court of Exchequer paid that money out of Court to Mr. Attwood ; but subsequently to the payment of money into Court there remained eleven and a half half-yearly payment:, to recover which, with interest thereon, the present action w cs brought. To this action the defendants pleaded paymentof money into Court as to the whole amount claimed, except s deduction of a half per cent. on 75,0001., which left to 1 3 : disputed 2,0631. But the question upon which his motion turned bad, reference to the allowanee of interest on FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE At the Court at Windsor, the sth day of November, 1638, pre sent the Queen's Most Excellent Alajcsty in Council.
